We decorate

I suppose you have figured out by now that we decorate.
We decorate for nearly every major holiday. I wasn't always like this, however, my girls have been a big influence on decorating. It starts off very innocently when they bring home projects from pre-school. A Valentine heart, a Christmas tree, a turkey made with their handprint.
You know what I mean.

Then they start to ask why we don't decorate. There's many reasons, time shortage being one of them.
Then the yearly nagging ensues. "Mom Valentine's Day is my FAVORITE holdiay" and "Mom, St. Patrick's Day is my FAVORITE holiday you HAVE to decorate", and so forth. Each holiday being the FAVORITE.

I have finally given in by now. I made it a short term goal to add a few handmade holiday decorations for each holiday. With the Be Mine Blog Tour I added some cutsie Valentine hearts. St. Patty's Day has brought a Simplicity table topper and now a green wreath.

I used some of my green scraps from Simplicity and others my stash scraps. I have one more project I am working on from the scraps. I sure hope I finish it before St. Patty's Day so the girls can enjoy it.

And for inquiring minds...yes I have already started on a few Easter projects...well they will be finishes this year, I started them LAST Easter LOL.
